Discussion

Observational analysis found significant predictors of functional disability in knee osteoarthritis, highlighting the role of clinical markers.

Significant correlations between WOMAC scores and both OA grade and duration were found.
OA duration and OA grade were significant predictors of WOMAC scores, explaining 13% of the variance.
The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional observational design to analyze various factors affecting OA.
Nursing interventions should prioritize risk stratification based on clinical characteristics to optimize early treatment.

Yannis et al. (2025) studied this question.
